MAC what is dexter season 8 like? I've watched the others so I will watch it at some point but money is tight and am in two minds whether to buy it or wait for the library to have it in because I've read the reviews and they say its crap.

Mikey3, in so many ways i was wishing Dexter 8 to be good, as 7 was pretty poor by anybody's standards. BUtT in reality it was guff. So many holes in the stories and as unrealistic as Dexter ever was it just fell into absolute absurdity.

I loved the books and the early seasons but they definitely lost their way towards the end. Dexter rip!!

- Generation Kill is really good
- I rewatched The Wire again recently and it seems a bit dated - still great though.
- Sopranos is fantastic
- Sons of Anarchy is ludicrously cheesy and unrealistic but pretty entertaining
- Same for The Shield (far too long though - 7 series!)
- BSG - great in places but loses it's way at times and has a dodgy ending - worth watching though
- Homeland started out great but over-reached itself

For a little outside bet - I really enjoyed Jericho, even though they had to cobble together an ending when the money ran out.

I'm also in the never watch scheduled tv camp - do spend a fair amount of time watching movies and tv series I suppose.

Yes, it's not The Wire and doesn't have that addictive 'just one more episode' quality to it. On the other hand it does have some wonderful characters, great music and a lot of food (definitely a bad idea to watch on an empty stomach).

Oh yeah, I forgot about the food. I'm lucky enough to have been to to Louisiana a few times and sampled some good ol' Cajun cooking.

My criticism is starting to sound a bit like - "What have the Romans ever done for us?"...............

to replace it we've seen American horror story series 1. twin peaks weirdness.
weeds. I could only hack 2 episodes, too much like 90210 with marijuana.
now on son's of anarchy. just cottoned on to what Sam crow is!
